Yeah, let's no go there. ?

Well that's different. Although it kind of is Coke, because Sprite falls under the umbrella of The Coca Cola Company. Nah, if they were to do a water truck, it would be Dasani, as that's part of the Coke group.

Looking good! That hood turned out great!

That's awesome. Once I clear a few things from the bench, I think I'm going to get started on my Mark Webber car.

Did he say that little 4-cylinder could pump out 1000hp? That's crazy. And pretty awesome.

I just delivered this one last week to a client. 2023 Outer Banks Advanced. We then did a 2" lift and added tires from a Sasquatch package. In the 2dr alone, there are 13 different trim levels, so trying to order the right one for a client can be a challenge. This client wanted painted flares, the 35" tires, heated steering wheel, but not leather. Took some outside the box thinking, but we did it. The next one that comes in, I'm going to take some close up detail pics, so that when my kits arrive, I can get the painting correct. Thought about building a couple for clients that buy them. Kind of a "thanks for your business" gift. Except that the majority of our clients go for the 4dr. Anyway...

First one I remember was a 1/32 Lindberg Buick snap kit. I was maybe 5 or 6, and I remember my parents brought it in when I had a hospital stay and needed something to do. Would have been early 1978. Pic of what I believe is the kit. Random pic from google search.

Seat height adjustment is only available on the Transit, but not many people order it. Overall, the Transit is so much more modern than both the GM vans and the E-series. You can tell the GM and E-series are 30 year old designs that are still hanging on. A tweak here, a tweak there and keep on pumping them out.

These guys aren't the sharpest tools in the shed for sure! They left their BMX bike, a backpack, and a small cooler too. And when they took out the service counter, the managed to bust open the till, and in that one pic you can see cash all over the floor. Which they of course left behind.

Yup! Somehow they drove it into our Quick Lane lube pit!

We don't see it often, but I have one client that orders the absolute cheapest E450 cutaways he can. Like you described. Manual mirrors, locks, windows, no keyfob, vinyl seats, etc. Most of my clients ordering E-series will at least add the power accessories package.

WT grille is out there. Have printed a few already, and they look really good. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/1990-s-amt-chevy-c3500-stock-work-truck-grill Lots of wheel options in the 3D world too. From steelies to big custom wheels. Haven't seen any seats though, but then I haven't really looked.

Like this? Not my pic or kit, picture from the designer's site. These are readily available for printing, could easily be scaled to fit the Chev's bed. I'd be open to print and ship. Doesn't open though. I'm looking for one that I can hinge and open.

These things are popular around here. Surprisingly, it's the old school farmers that have latched on to them. Perfect vehicle for a quick runabout town, without needing to fire up the big diesel duallie farm truck. I've tried, and I do not fit in these trucks.

Arrived at work this morning. Someone stole a customer's Explorer from our service drive thru overnight. Tried to steal the Escape but failed. Drove through a service counter, and now there's cash all over the floor. Have no idea where that came from. Or how they got the cars, as keys are not left in vehicles. The cops are here, so I'm guessing they're on it. So our service department will be delayed in opening this morning.

Well, with it being Father's Day yesterday, the kiddies hit me with this. I'm not a plane guy per se, but I love Spitfires. And I love Iron Maiden. They also got me a bottle of Sailor Jerry and a 2L of Dr Pepper.

Nice! I found my Peavey 412 cabinet on a local classifieds page. $50 CDN. Couple of years old, and basically giving it away! I couldn't drive over to meet the guy fast enough.

Managed to mess up a build I've been really happy with so far. Over the past few weeks, I did my usual procedure on this one. Tamiya primer, several light coats, followed by some sanding/smoothing. Tamiya paint, several coats, let sit for a few days, then sand/smooth. Apply decals, let it sit for a week. On Saturday, I hit it with Tamiya clearcoat. My usual routine. A mist coat over the decals, let it sit for 10-15 min, then a light coat, then 10 min wait, another light coat, 10 minute wait, a slightly less light coat, 10 minute wait, then a heavier coat. Checked it last night. The cab is fine. The sleeper looks like this. It looks like the clearcoat ran and took the paint with it. Decals appear to be fine underneath. Very strange. I've never had this issue before, and I used the same products and procedure I've always used. Now trying to figure out my next course of action. Probably just repaint with red and leave the decals. Or maybe it's time to practice weathering. Ugh.

This one is amusing, but holy moly the local news has been wild. I'm guessing the alien invasion is next. Or maybe a volcano or soemthing.

I generally just stand in front of the stash and stare at it for an inordinate amount of time. I should start this one. No, I should start that one. Oh tis one would be good. What about that one. And then I sit down and realize I have a dozen builds underway already.

We chatted, and I'm not deleting this thread because there is some good info, and some good examples of what the Revell chrome can do. But some people really need to think before posting. That's great that your method works awesome for you. Wonderful. Super. Congratulations. But that's not the point of this thread. This thread is about the new Revell chrome spray. It is not about airbrushing or what other brands work for you. I don't think people would be impressed if they posted an Under Glass thread about a Mustang they built, and then had people post pics of their Camaros, explaining how they were great too. Thread hijacking is not cool, and just makes you look like a donkey.

Once or twice a year, my small town does a community "garage sale" downtown. Close the roads, and people can buy a table for I think $20. At least a 100 tables at yesterday's sale. A fair number of plane kits scattered around, lots of diecast. And exactly one table with model cars. Well, I couldn't leave empty handed! I was tempted by a few things, but ultimately decided on two that needed to come with me. He had them listed at $15 each, but took $20 for the pair. Both were box open, but all original bags still sealed. Both 100% complete.
